The Applicable Statute

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute are 
references to the provisions effective January 1, 1995, the effective 
date of the amendments made to the Tariff Act of 1930 (the Act) by the 
Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA).

Background

    On September 6, 2000, the Department published a notice of 
initiation of the administrative review of stainless steel sheet and 
strip in coils from France, covering the period January 4, 1999 through 
June 30, 2000 (65 FR 53980). The preliminary results are currently due 
no later than April 2, 2001.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Because of the complex issues enumerated in the Memorandum from 
Edward C. Yang to Joseph A. Spetrini, Extension of Time Limit for the 
Preliminary Results of Administrative Review of Certain Stainless Steel 
Sheet and Strip in Coils from France, on file in the Central Records 
Unit (CRU) of the Main Commerce Building, Room B-099, we find that it 
is not practicable to complete this review by the scheduled deadline of 
April 2, 2001. Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Act, the Department is extending the time period for issuing the 
preliminary results of review by 90 days until July 2, 2001.

    Dated: January 12, 2001.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary, Enforcement Group III.
